New Urban Arts awards fellowships annually to
two established artists and educators in a yearlong
position to (1) support artist mentors who volunteer
to mentor high school students in the arts; (2) share
publicly artwork or ideas about community arts practice
reflective of New Urban Arts pedagogy, and (3) be an active
presence in the New Urban Arts Studio. The fellows jointly curate
New Urban Arts /Conversations/, a public series in which unique individuals share how they integrate creativity into their personal and professional lives.
